New junior world records in Team Sprint

In both men and ladies a new junior world record was skated in Team Sprint. In men the team Netherlands (Niek Deelstra, Thijs Govers, Tijmen Snel) won with 1.25,65 and in ladies the team China (Huawei Li, Sining Yang, Nan Sun) won with 1.34,86. Faster times have been skated during this season but no one has paid attention to a change in the rules that requires that all the team members need to doping tested in order to approve the result as a world record. This time it was taken care of.

– The Asians are really strong in this competition and we are proud to beat them, continued Max Reder.

– For me the championships have been a little disappointment. I haven’t got the best out of me. But this third place makes me happy, commented Ole Jeske.
